MFORMA has picked up another game designer, increasing its stable of talent. Blue Beck, who has developed titles for THQ, JAMDAT, EA, and MFORMA, will now become a wholly-owner subsidiary of MFORMA. The company, formed in 2001 by Peter Scott and Eric Hobson, will remain in Manchester.

"Blue Beck is one of the top studios in the world," says Daniel Kranzler, MFORMA CEO. "They are one of the most talented, consistent, disciplined, and prolific developers we've worked with and we are very pleased to have them on our team. Together we will streamline and more efficiently respond to the growing demand for mobile entertainment products from our wireless carrier customers around the world, which now number more than 100."
